Now for today's creeptastic creation by Me!
🎃Day 5 of 31 Days of Halloween 2019🎃
Quirkleighs CarnEvil Snake Charmer mixed media decor! 

 The RingMistress cracked her whip and the Quirkleighs CarnEvil show began!
You have no choice but to sit and enjoy...mwahahahaha!


 Hypnotized you watch the exotic Snake Charmer walk the tightrope high above your head!


You cringe while her snakes perform death defying tricks!
 
 
You gasp in horrible delight as dozens of snakes coil and twirl through the air!


I printed The Quirkleighs CarnEvil Snake Charmer out twice and coloured her up with Copics and a white Prismacolor pencil and added touches of metallic gold gel pen details.


 Then completely fussy cut out one entire image and just her arm and snake umbrella from the 2nd.


I applied Judikins Diamond glaze to the tightrope to give it strength and dimension.
This decor piece is another one of my wooden wonky house I gave new life to.
You can see my original projects here!
 

The decorative background papers on this one are from Tim's Idea-ology Retro Grunge paper pad and Recollections Mystic Moon paper pad, that snake paper couldn't have been more perfect if it tried!  I did subtle stenciling over the snake panel with Worn Lipstick and Fired Brick Distress Oxide inks and Tim's Grime large layering stencil and then grunged up both decorative paper panels with Black Soot Distress Ink and Distress Rock Candy Crackle Paint tinted with black Dylusions paint.  I used Tim's Speckles layering stencil on the snake panel and Decay on the bottom panel.


I used a Crafter's Companion Decorative Edge die to cut the bottom edge of the decorative background panel and a black Sheena heavy weight cardstock panel to give the feel of a Big Top tent frill.  I used foam tape to pop the decorative panel off of the black panel and then pop dots to adhere The Snake Charmer and the additional snake umbrella layer to the decorative background.  I'm having so much fun creating these dramatic dimensional scenes!


I made decorative panels for the sides of the wonky house using mixed media cardstock, Mustard Seed, Candied Apple, Worn Lipstick and Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide Sprays and the faBOOlous large Pumpkin Spooks rubber stamp by Stampendous stamped in black pigment ink.  I finished off all the panel edges with Midas Gold Spectrum Noir metallic pigment ink.


I another one of Tim's Vignette Finials for the base which I painted black.  I then applied Pebeo gold gilding wax to the finial and all the edges of the wonky house for even more grungy gold bling including Tim's fun Idea-ology Quote Chip which I cut to fit the width of the decor piece.  I thought "She was Peculiar" was spot on for this one!  The perfect finishing touch Tim's die cut Bat Crazy bat cut from black Sheena heavy weight cardstock and coated with Distress Rock Candy crackle paint.


The Quirkleighs CarnEvil Snake Charmer is on FLASH SALE until midnight tonight pacific!

Buckle up coz there's so many faBOOlous details I've got a lot of photos to show you👻

🎃Day 3 of 31 Days of Halloween 2019🎃
Quirkleighs CarnEvil RingMistress mixed media decor! 


You're now the captive audience inside the Quirkleighs CarnEvil big top!
Entranced you stare at the strange and beautiful creature standing in the center of the ring!


You jump when The RingMistress cracks her whip!
 

The CarnEvil show has begun!


I coloured The Quirkleighs CarnEvil RingMistress with Copics and white Prismacolor pencil detailing then added luxurious details with a metallic gold gel pen and white gel pen highlights.


I completely fussy cut her out including her whip!  To give the whip strength and glamorous dimension I applied Judikins Diamond glaze to it and then painted it with a metallic gold Prismacolor pen.


The decor piece is a wooden wonky house I gave new life to.
You can see my original projects here!
 

I created the decorative background with Tim's new Shifter Rays large layering stencil and Distress Oxides:  Antique Linen, Fossilized Amber, Fired Brick, Candied Apple, Ground Espresso and Black Soot Distress Ink.


I used a Crafter's Companion Decorative Edge die to cut the bottom edge of the decorative background panel and a black Sheena heavy weight cardstock panel to give the feel of a Big Top tent frill.  I used foam tape to pop the decorative panel off of the black panel and then pop dots to adhere The RingMistress to the decorative background.  I love doing dramatic dimension!


I chose a fun striped design from Tim's Idea-ology Retro Grunge paper pad, grunged it up with Black Soot Distress Ink and applied Distress Rock Candy Crackle Paint.


I made decorative panels for the sides of the wonky house using mixed media cardstock, Mustard Seed, Rusty Hinge, Candied Apple and Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide Sprays and the faBOOlous large Pumpkin Spooks rubber stamp by Stampendous stamped in black pigment ink.


I grunged up all the panels with Black Soot Distress Ink and applied Ranger Texture Paste coloured with Dylusions black paint using Tim's large Grime layering stencil.  I finished off all the edges with Midas Gold Spectrum Noir metallic pigment ink. 

 
 I elevated the wonky house to new heights by adding one of Tim's Vignette Finials which I painted black.  I then applied Pebeo gold gilding wax to the finial and all the edges of the wonky house for even more grungy gold bling including Tim's fun Idea-ology Quote Chip which was the perfect width for the base of my decor piece.  The perfect finishing touch are the two die cut Bat Crazy bats by Tim cut from black Sheena heavy weight cardstock and coated with Distress Rock Candy crackle paint.
